The youth leader explained that, “it is never an Ogba-Ogba nor Ogba-Ndoni Local Government. It is Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government.
“The foremost visionary and youth advocacy wig Egbema kingdom known as the Egbema Massive Movement, took out time to investigate major People’s Democratic Party PDP political appointments and executive positions in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State since creation, 1990.
“Knowing Egbema kingdom to be body and soul of PDP for the donkey years of her reign and considering the sorry State of the people of Egbema under PDP. It will be unfair if we are not well represented in this Governor Sim Fubara’s administration haven lost out totally in previous administrations (1999_2023).
Rufus urged the governor to, “consider the lists below and vindicate our cries and pleas as a people. The lists clearly show how unfavorable our political choices as a people has been for over three decades now.
“We would have been blaming only the past and present Rivers State governing body but sad enough, it has been the PDP in Rivers State since the travails of the Egbema people.”

He noted that, “Egi, Omoku, Usomini and Igburu as used in this presentation are all Ogba extractions in a local government that constitutes three but mutually bonded kingdoms which are: Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni.”
Rufus made a list of past and present political office holders of Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGA to portress his claim od marginalization of the Egbema people.

Rufus continued that, “we want to also let you know that Egbema kingdom has the voting strength of ONELGA from our conscious considering, It is now visible to the World that there is nothing like One ONELGA.
“Egbema Massive Movement condemn in strong terms what she described as a calculated attempt by our sister kingdoms (Ogba and Ndoni) to relegate and continually sideline the good people of Egbema from the goodies of state democracy and scheme of things in her own local and state government.
“For the interest of fair Play, Solidification of Internal Unity and Cooperation in ONELGA, we demand that Egbema be duly recognized and be represented in all sections of Leadership in ONELGA council and the Rivers State government led by His Excellency, Sir Sim Fubara. GSSRS.
“We have been known to be peaceful and loving resource suppliers of ONELGA and the nation. Your Excellency Sir, it is unfair to beat a poor child and at the same time pet him with biscuits or ice cream for him not to cry out.
“Judging from the one-sided Political Appointment’s in ONELGA, we make bold to say that our people have been pushed to the wall and would not want to anymore.
“We write as a peaceful and visionary organ of our kingdom to express our dissatisfaction with the current dispositions of elective and appointive positions in our local government. From Proper enquiries, what some persons call the six geopolitical zones and thus, the sharing formulas of ONELGA was never invoke in our Local Government until the advent of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in 1999. And under the Democratic tenure of SIR. DR. Peter Odili, CON as the then governor of the state which we believed was so concerned about national politics which gave the room for him to be tricked to supporting that calculated and one sided arrangement to steal and retain Sociopolitical and economic powers in the local government to one region by some desperate Politicians.
“However, Egbema people has risen from the shackles of broad day robbery and believe that no time is ever late to call for equity, fairness and Justice as people with clear understanding of the rule of law.
“We keep believing that, His Excellency Sir Fubara, been a fair play governor and a governor who believes on social justice and with his good position as the executive governor of the state, a born leader from the grassroots settings of communities, local and state, will use his good position to correct the great Injustice melted on Egbemans by our political leaders from the other kingdoms in the LGA.

“Even the military regime had recognized us as one and that gave birth to the use of our respective Initials to coin the Name ONELGA meaning Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, and not Ogba/Omoku-Egi-Usomini-Igburu/Egbema and Ndoni Local Government Area.
